Magpie hard-nut Scott Burns has won his appeal against a one match ban, and is free to play against the Brisbane Lions at the GABBA on Saturday Night.

In a bittersweet night at the tribunal for the club, inform goalsneek Alan Didak was controversially suspended for two matches, after initially being given a one game ban for his love tap on Port's Darryl Wakelin.

Leon Davis, who's form in the VFL has been solid for the past two game, looms as Didak's likely replacement.
